It messes with my OCD not being in the middle. But I found a way to fix that 😁 I guess I could swap them around.

We’ve done it. We’ve now talked about everything possible about the Mav. Hahaha. Good question but I’d counter, what if parallel parking on a 1 way street, no matter which side the plate, one side of parking would be as you mentioned, not towards the street.
Most Mavericks are right handed :cool:

I'd trade it for a bumper without a hitch and a centered LP. Even the non hitched ones are right sided. But, doesn't bother me enough to care. I do find it odd they only had 2 pre-drilled holes for the rear plate though. I drilled two more.

Because the exhaust goes on the Left.
Duh.

Right is right and left is wrong.

Okay, which side is the steering wheel on🧐 the left side.
Now does the plate on the right side make more sense 😳

They have to offset the driver weight. LOL.

Could be worse. At least it doesn't have phony exhaust tips like they are putting on some cars. Toyota and Volkswagen I'm talking to you.
No joke, totally stupid, only to be out done by fake engine sounds.

Why is the license plate on the right and not on the left? When the parallel parked shouldn't the plate be visible from the street?
Because this is the guy who was responsible for the license plate placement

It's for load equalization since the fuel filler would otherwise make the rear of the truck lean to the left :alien:

I work in management and am forced to make these kind of no-impact decisions all the time. Don't discount:
